Some of them cling TO their passes but the
most conscientious ones surrendered them.

Senator CuLLoM, of Illinois, the author OF
the interstate commerce bill, said he did not
set himself up ms an example of senatorial
ethics, but he did not see how under the law
congressman could travel on passes. He hat
surrendered his as soon as the bill passed.

Senator PRATT, of Connecticut, q member
of the conference committee which fixed III
the bill, says that 1t is a clear discrimination
to issue passes, ana that members of congress
could not conscientiously accept them if they
were rendered.
Senator SPoONER, of Wisconsin, says that
he has always travelled on passes and is no,
ashamed of it. But as he understands the
interstate commerce bill railroad companies
nave no right to issue passes. Hereafter he
should accept none except ON roads in his
own state.
IL is gratifying to observe a religious recip-
rocity springing up between the North and
South. While the two SAMs-JoNEs and
SMALL-are evangelzing the North, n Michi
gan and Ohio couple are reviving the religious
zeal of the Southland.

NINA VAN HANDT, the proxy marriage hero
Inc, has come to grief. She is not rs much
married as she thought she was. Her mar.
rage license has been returned to the clerk
by the crank who performed the proxy Gel e.
mony, and the clerk refuses TO record it. The
crank swears that he married the parties
named in the license, and the clerk swears he
is liar.
GATH says that Sir JOHN MACDONALD is
the JIM BLAINE of Canada. Ii is observable.
however, that the Canadian Plumed Knight
finds no BuRCHARD to obstruct his pathway
to glory.

EX-Gov. HOADLY has shaken Buckeye dust
from his feet and has pitched his tabernacle
In New York. Gov. HOADLY'S reason for a
change OF territory is that he desires to con-
nne himself to the practice of law and thinks
that New York affords Il more promising field
than Cincinnati.
~
The fact is that Gov. HoADLY has discov-
cred what many another prominent lawyer
discovered before him, that one season in pol
tiles can break down business that it took a
whole lifetime to build up. When Gov.
HOADLY quit the governors chair and re-
turned to the oar, he found that his law prac-
tice had flown, and he had to begin his pro-
fessioual life de noyo

In his farewell address TO the people of
Cincinnati, Gov. HoADLY said that the most
notifying reflection of his life was the knowl-
edge that fraudulent ballots had been counted
for him when ne was candidate for COVER
nor. 1t is a pity that q similar spasm OF re-
morse would not sieze some of our Minnesota
officials There is abundant reason why il
should.

The Chicago Times fatty denies the
GLOBE S assertion that Chicago is not a liter
airy center. 1t admits that MIKE KELLY's
transfer from Chicago to Boston was cacu-
lated to lead to such an impression but ii
quotes Mr.. KELLY as saying that he was in nc
wise dissatisfied with Chicago culture. The
fact that MCDONALD and HARRISON still
cling to Chicago is boost for the city's liter
airy reputation.

Great mercantile houses in Chicago that
have the name of selling anywhere from
$15,0G0,0O to $S0,0O0,O00 worth of goods only
figure the tax lists as being worth $780,
00e and $4,000. 1t is no wonder Chicago
contemporary remarks: "Year after year
the philosophers of Utopia, gazing into the
realm of the ideal, overlook this recurring
phenomena of the real" 1t does look that
way.

A Philadelphia man is going to Mexico to
put new hotel with all modern improve.
ments, in the Mexican capital. There may
be money in the scheme, but why should d
Philadelphia man go so far from home to
erect a hotel of that kind when there is sc
much need for one in his own city.

With nearly $4,000 bills pressed upon its at
tention 1t is no wonder that the Forty-ninth
congress was in a demoralized condition
Such an influx of legislation as that would
paralyZe any nation on earth

The presidents veto pocket is the savings
bank of the nation. The way in which he
quietly pocketed the river and harbor bill
will be the admiration of economists. There
has been great deal of log-rolling labor lost,
but the treasury is all right.
